Escaped death

My heart could not stop beating
The pounding was constantly repeating
Going faster and faster climbing even hire
As my body starts to freeze losing life's fire

I felt dizzy and barely could walk
Slowly losing the ability to talk
My muscles became very stiff and tense
So much was going on I could barely make sense

Stress, anxiety and another step near death
As the heart could not stop as I was holding my breath
What was happening and what have I done?
Another chapter of life has begun

This lasted more than seconds, minutes and ever hours
As my area is getting hit by a blizzard, starting with snow showers
I felt thirsty, in fact really dehydrated
My body was in a wreck and feeling sedated

Stress and life have now taken there toll
Only survival and recovery are the main goal
At 23 I was nearly gone from this earth
Would this be right to my mother who gave my birth?

Today I'm some what better but will never be the same
Taking the wrong route to success in life's game
A lot of change and thinking is to come
To prevent my body from becoming limp and numb

Every thing was flashing in my eyes
More than anyone will ever realize
I thanked God for keeping me alive and well
He has saved me more than once from death and hell
